It is easy to reduce the suction power
for a short time, e.g. to prevent rugs or
other objects being sucked into the va-
cuum cleaner.
Open the air inlet valve on the handle
far enough to reduce the suction
power.
The floorhead will be easier to man-
oeuvre.
During vacuuming
When vacuuming, pull the cleaner be-
hind you on its wheels. You can stand
it upright for vacuuming stairs and
curtains etc.
When vacuuming – especially in
the case of fine dust, e.g. sawdust,
sand, flour, talcum powder, etc. –
electrostatic charges build up natur-
ally. Under certain conditions these
charges will be released. To avoid
the unpleasant effects of these elec-
trostatic discharges, a metal inlay
has been incorporated into the un-
derside of the handle. Please make
sure that you keep your hand in con-
stant contact with this metal strip
during vacuuming. If your vacuum
cleaner is fitted with an Eco Com-
fort handle, make sure that your
hand is in contact with the top,
arched part of the handle at all times.
This is where the metal inlay is incor-
porated (Fig. 20, 21 + 22).
If you vacuum a large amount of dust in
one go, you should start the Comfort-
Clean self-cleaning function manually
either during a vacuuming pause or im-
mediately afterwards. This enables the
vacuum cleaner to achieve the very
46
best cleaning performance again
straight away (see "Maintenance" –
"Starting the ComfortClean self-clean-
ing function manually").
Interrupting operation (Fig. 17)
(for models with radio controls on the
handle)
The vacuum cleaner can be paused for
short breaks whilst vacuuming.
Press the Standby button on the
handle.
The Standby button is designed
to pause the vacuum cleaner for
short periods of time whilst vacuum-
ing. Do not leave the vacuum cleaner
in Standby mode for long periods.
This can cause overheating and
damage.
An LED will indicate each time a button
is pressed on the handle.
At the end of the pause you can do one
of the following:
Press the Standby button again to
switch the vacuum cleaner back on at
the setting you were using before
pausing it.
Press the + button to switch the va-
cuum cleaner back on using the
highest power setting.
Press the - button to switch the va-
cuum cleaner back on using the low-
est power setting.
